Every number was expected about that many times after 95 draws, and they scatter around it. Warm means more than expected, cool means fewer — and a cold number arriving is exactly what cold numbers do.

The longest wait in this draw

59 had not appeared for 18 draws. A number waits about 14 on average, and a wait this long was not a signal — the machine has no memory of it.

    • Where chance put the count

    The rings take the ≈15M lines the counts imply and assume an evenly spread crowd. Furthest from that: Match 3 — 23,073 winners, 10% fewer than the 26k an even spread gives. The real crowd and an even spread agreed closely on this draw.
